I just keep on swimming through these streams of life. Things look up at times, other times not so up.

I am on my second to my last class and will graduate on July 7, 2012! I am more than excited and proud of myself for completing this chapter in my life. I have worked very hard studying, writing papers, and attending class every Tuesday night (well almost every Tuesday) for the last 2 years. I take offense to people that think the University of Phoenix is giving out degrees to anyone who signs up. I take offense to those who think that submitting your paper to a writing review is taking the easy way out. I wonder, where is your degree? If it is so easy, have you done it? If you need the extra look-over of your paper and it is available, take it. Get the most points you can! No matter what kind of college, online or in-person, from SMU to University of Phoenix, if you are working towards a degree and can honestly say that you are giving it your all- you deserve to it. A degree is earned, not given!

For those that say that if you don't have the funds to go to college, don't. I say that if you don't have the money to buy that car, vacation, jewelry, etc...don't! College is a different story! It is an investment in my future! It doesn't make me a "better person" per say, but it does afford me better jobs and more success. For the most part, it is something I wanted, sought, and obtained for myself. What is better than that? Even your dream car can't earn you more or land a fruitful career path!

I will walk across that stage smiling my biggest smile and knowing that I have absolutely earned my Bachelor's degree on my own! And yes, I am considering a Master's degree! That, too, is an investment in my future. I take care of me, you take care of you!
